Thoughtfully Picking Up Stitches

Taking my time and paying special attention to each step helps prevent me from making mistakes. I fell in love with knitting as a medium because of the intention and thought involved in the process - starting with nothing but a piece of yarn and making something unique for someone special. This week’s free pattern Minto, is knit in luscious soft yarn, then picked up and knitted with a rib finish. For a demonstration on how to carefully pick up stitches, watch our how-to video. You can find more knitting tips in the how-to video library on our website.

This luscious fur like shrug is knit sideways from left to right as one piece and finished with a beautiful ribbing picked up along the bottom edge and neckline.
